Hi all, I applied for the position above a few weeks ago as with my HGV mechanic qualifications I thought it would be a great opportunity to combine my mechanical experience with being able to work in the railway sector. It’s been a few weeks and my online portal status is still saying...

Ok you’ve twisted my arm I’ll apply later after work. Your both right I shouldn’t just assume I suppose. Besides, I’m sure I could those 8 mins if I really tried ;) (safely of course)

good morning all, as the title suggests I just found this on my daily checks. I’m 8 mins outside the 60min travelling limit so a little gutted I can’t apply but here you go. Good luck all...

Ok thank you for this, very app I have takes traffic so just used this method and I’m under like I thought.

Good morning all, When a TOC states you must live within a certain time of a depot (let’s say 60mins) Is that in normal conditions with normal traffic? If I apply somewhere and apple maps says 67mins with 18 mins of traffic currently. Would that go against me? Considering the shift patterns...

am I right in saying a ’no deal’ Brexit would just lead us to WTO rules by default if that's what we've signed up to at some point?

Hello all, does anyone on here happen to be a a train maintenance tech? I’ve previously been a HGV tech for around 12 years but left as I had no interest in it any more (I don’t think the company I worked for helped) my end goal is to hopefully one day be a train driver but with the...

Congrats Martin, simulat story here. Wanted it in school, got teased for it ended up in mechanics for last 12 years. Hated it. Hated it so so much. One train ride and few google searches later I found the passion for it again and I’m determined to make it happen. New born daughter on the way due...

I did my work experience at the Bristol train service depot by Temple meads station (can’t remember but I think it was GWR then but I think it’s Arriva now) I got to see the trains up close and how they work along with being able to stand in the cab when they moved. I loved it. Was more on the...

Wow, that alone has made things so much clearer about what they’re about and what I should say should I ever make that stage. Thank you for the advise :)

I know! Was there when they beat Man U 2-1 ...... then was also there when they drew 3-3 against a very poor Sunderland after being 3-0 at HT, then a loss to bottom Bolton. No consistantcy. Yh I thought the same when I saw all the scores. Nothing exciting. This was last season, but still the...

Bristol City 1 - 0 Huddersfield Great result for The Robins. Quite the habit of beating premier league opponents in recent times!
